[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As far as I've been able to tell, the only metric where APS high schools outperform FCPS high schools is the average number of AP/IB courses taken by graduating seniors. But when you look instead at the percentage of graduates who actually pass the AP or IB exams, the APS schools fall behind the top schools in FCPS (just like they do with average SAT scores, SOL scores, # of National Merit Semifinalists, etc). Maybe that will change by the time the kids redistricted from W-L to YHS graduate. [/quote] And there are plenty of FCPS schools that fall behind APS schools. What’s your point? [/quote] There is no point, other than some insecure FCPS parents are desperate to establish their own superiority. It's not enough for everyone's schools to be good, they must be the best.[/quote] They can enjoy their extra hours commuting. I'll spend mine teaching my kids anything APS missed. [/quote]
